A few weeks had passed and Felix had grown accustomed to Chan's agreement of his "Debt".

Most days after work he would go home with the older, going a few rounds and then going back home to his apartment.

It was almost the next month, and by how many times they had sex Felix did the math in his head thinking he was close to paying off his " debt".

"I think I owe him close to...$800...? So that's like, 4 more nights I guess...?" He Felix mumbled to himself getting some coffee for the older at the coffee shop.

He was also thinking of what their relationship would turn to after paying Chan off.

I don't think we could go back to normal...and he doesn't want anything more...I can tell...

Felix sighed to himself getting Chan's coffee, as he turned around he got a phone notification.

"Hm?"

New email:

From University Financial Services:

Hello Lee Felix,

We are informing you your tuition for the fall semester will be due soon

"What?! I thought the scholarships covered that??"

Felix quickly called the university asking about it, they informed him that one of the loans he took out in addition to the scholarships was rejected and he would owe $10,000 in 2 weeks in order to stay enrolled.

"Oh no..." he started to freak out and panic thinking of what to do.

"I don't have that kind of money...and that loan was all I was approved for...they won't let me take out any others..." he felt himself tear up on his way back to Chan's office.

I'll think of something...maybe a second job...? I don't know how to fit that with working here though....

He said has he tried pulling himself together before entering Chan's office.

"Chan, I-"

He looked to see Chan not in his office as he set the coffee down on his desk.

Felix went over to the couch where he left his iPad.

"Oh, he's in a meeting..."

He sighed again as he tried looking online already for ideas to get money.

"Second job...? Freelance?"

He tried searching through a job posting page, surprised to see some jobs.

"Maybe I can be a receptionist at a hospital at night?" He shook his head as he stood up.

"I need some water..." he mumbled leaving the iPad open as he went out Chan's office to go to the break room on the floor below to get some water and clear his head.

While he was gone, Chan had just came back looking for the younger.

"Felix, add another-"

He walked in to see his office empty and his coffee on his desk.

Where did he go...?

He noticed Felix's iPad on the couch still open, walking closer to see what he had open.

His eyes went wide, definitely not liking what he saw.

Chan picked it up, seeing Felix was looking for another job.

He...wants to leave here...? Leave me...???

Chan felt a mix of anger and hurt, he didn't know why but the idea of the younger looking for somewhere else to work. He didn't like it at all.
